Projects
Custom watercooling
A loop is a closed system with a thermal budget, a failure mode and no error handling.
Design, build, thermal tuning
Hard tubing PETG / acrylic · radiators · pump · reservoir · coolant chemistry
Full custom loops, not AIOs
A loop is a hydraulic circuit with a thermal load. It has to be designed, not assembled.
Optimised for the noise and temperature curve rather than a benchmark screenshot.
Microelectronics
At some point the only fix is at component level.
Diagnosis, repair, small custom builds
Through-hole and SMD soldering · hot-air rework · multimeter · schematic tracing
Board- and component-level work
Swapping assemblies is expensive and teaches nothing. Finding the failed component does.
Board-level repair is debugging with a soldering iron — same method, physical stack.
Airsoft builds
A gearbox is a mechanical, pneumatic and electrical system in one housing.
Mechanical, pneumatic, electrical, measurement
Gearbox tuning · MOSFET and electronic trigger units · chronograph
Custom builds, tolerances in tenths of a millimetre
Every component tolerance affects every other. A mistake in one place shows up somewhere else.
Measured, not estimated — joule and rate of fire against legal limits, consistency across shot strings.
ASVD — IT infrastructure
A Swiss association's IT, end to end, run voluntarily.
IT manager, volunteer
Microsoft 365 tenant · Azure services · web infrastructure
Identity, licensing, security policy, hosting and operations
Same responsibilities as the day job, no budget, no team, and users who are volunteers.
A good constraint to design under.
